Review:

Jchrissy says:I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE ELSE GOT THE FIRST REVIEW TO THIS. I am very, very angry right now. That's what I get for not reviewing first thing this morning. Hmph.

This Rose already seems more grown up than OTE in a different sort of way. That Rose was mature but naive, adult but still wide eyed. This one is far from naive, and that seems to be showing on her. It's like I can already feel a bit of unease brewing in her, and I'm not sure I like it. Does she regret her decision? Is being with only this man, isolated from her family, getting to be too much? What has their life been like together so far? Is she as happy as she'd want to be? Oh god, so many questions!

This was a very blurry start, and I loved that. It was like we'd just woken up with Rose, but we didn't know why all these feelings are inside of us. Your descriptions surrounding the ocean were beautiful, and really magnified her sense of... whatever is going on inside of her.

I am so excited to see where this goes. I hope Rose is happy... I know how hard just living away from family is, I can't imagine living away from it and knowing I can't visit. I hope Krum has stayed the man she's fallen in love with... and ugh. So many questions!

Perfect start, Becky!

Author's Response: Haha! Well, I shall do my best to post another chapter soon. I don't think you'll find yourself with a lot of reviewing competition on this one :P

Rose is definitely going to be different -- I mean, still herself but with more experience under her belt. With OtE, a good portion of the uncertainty/impetus came from outside herself: her family, her boss, the press, Krum. This one is more of an internal journey, where she has to decide more for herself instead of being swept along by circumstances -- or at least that's what I'm hoping!

Blurry? I like that term. I went outside my comfort zone in terms of letting the mood sit really heavy in writing, which I'm always loath to do. But I'm trying to break the habit of always starting my stories out of sync with the rest of the timeline. Hopefully it wasn't too melodramatic...?

I'm really excited (and nervous) to hear what you think once we really get into the story. I've never attempted a sequel before! Thanks so much for reviewing!!
